We here at This Week in Milford pride ourselves in providing you, the loyal lunatics, with barely readable, poorly thought out jokes about masturbation and things blowing up. You come to expect something like wit in all the goodness that we create here, but sometimes, a batch will just come out kind of burnt on the bottom, like my brain from another summer on the golf course. Don’t think because you’re stocking up on glue sticks and pencil boxes that there’s still not a few more novelty FERSPLOOSITY sound effects left in the ol’ cauldron o’ Summah! No, this one is a scortcha!
So just gaze upon these pictures and scribbly words and talk amongst yer selves. And tell me how freakin’ old Molly Kinsella is asposed to be!
Hey, it’s still black and white. My color computer is broken!

OK, so if Steve isn’t going to get into Molly’s golf shorts, what’s the point of this story line again?

Let me get this straight…it was about three years ago that Molly was running around in a cardboard bikini and she’s still jailbait for Steve Boone’s Farm? Look Molly just be honest with the poor jerk: he can’t “tickle your fancy” with just one arm. Plus, she’s been doing Abbott and Costello math : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebqKYy5iXXI
I still would like to believe Steve was playing a drunken game of “catch the hand grenade”. It’s much less boring than the real way he lost his arm.
Ok Wiford Brimley, “informally” you want to help the one armed bandit, but what about formally?
In the second panel, I’m more focused with the hats behind the shitty player rather than ho he “got his clock cleaned”. Is the caddy, who thinks Mr. Ennis is a shitty player yet another plot point that will go the same way as Mr. Bakst?

Those are awesome hats.

the bloggers are getting as lazy as the strippers. No entry for a week, then finally a bunch of comics with no analysis.

I know, Rob, right? Those guys suck!

Steve Boone was a senior during the 2004 football season, so he’s presumably a 2005 Milford High graduate. Molly was a senior for the 2011 softball season, so her graduation date is obvious. Assuming both were 18 upon graduation and have similarly-timed birthdays, that makes Steve 25 and Molly 19.
Using the old half-your-age-plus-seven rule (25/2=12.5+7=19.5) Molly falls just outside of the edge of Steve’s range by half a year, but will be just within it in another year (26/2=13+7=20).

4.Rob: Who can blame them? Nice summer weather to take advantage of before the autumn crisp. Their torpor matches this summer’s ‘plot.’ A one-armed golfer…. really? Keeps trying to hit on the young caddy only to be continually rejected… really? Heck, there’s not even a wiseacre to hate this summer. Or a musician to fawn over. OK Neil, ya got about two weeks to go: Why not have Boone drain a qt of Boone’s Farm then drag Molly into the bushes and [--choose your own golf term--]?

Hey Regina, re: your question in #2, I think the exchange at the pro shop is only there to explain where the miraculous lefty clubs came from. I wouldn’t mind in the snarky pro shop guy made more appearances (“No, I can’t ‘loan’ you a pair of pants from the shop, Coach Thorp. Maybe you might think about bringing your own pants, m’kay?”), but there’s no room for him in this plot. No room I tell you!
As to your other comment in #7, in the words of the late, great Donald “Duck” Dunn in the Blues Brothers movie: “If the shit fits, wear it!”

steve should just lie and say losing your arm makes your dick grow 4 inches longer that will have molly have those panties dropping on the 18th fairway

You need a lot of energy to be a stripper, by the way.

Re: Ned 9 and Regina 2: Don’t people wear wrist watches on non-dominant arms? That would suggest Mr. Ennis is right-handed, and the left-handed clubs weren’t his. Therefore, we can assume literal bandits stole his golf clubs, and then figuratively cleaned his clock with them. Goatee McProShop is thinking he could use karate lessons. The fact that none of this has anything to do with the rest of the plot only helps my case.

Drew, is it a watch? Maybe it’s a slave bracelet. Maybe that whole exchange is taking place in some discount bondage gear warehouse on the outskirts of town.
Anything is possible!
Comment by Ned Ryerson — August 21, 2012 @ 1:16 pm
LOL you guys slay me!
But seriously, we need to take up a collection for a prosthesis (sp?) arm, for SB. It creeps me out seeing him out there on the rich people’s golf course with a missing arm – just a sleeve blowin in the wind? Dayum rich people!
No doubt, this strip has a way of creeping people out with the kids with missing limbs and missing brains (remember the lobotomy kid, can’t rem his name right now).
Not to mention the missing Dad, Molly ???

Tried to comment before but it didn’t show up, maybe ’cause it was as boring as this arc. Any bets on what the fall football arc will be? Concussions – has Gil tackled concussions yet?
Comment by teenchy — August 22, 2012 @ 5:38 am
I know how many balls Steve lost. It’s two, right? Two balls. Because Molly won’t go out with him. He’s feeling emasculated. Like losing your balls would be. I’m all out of ideas. Balls.
